    Prevx3.0 can't seem to fix the cloaked malware found. I tried running in safe mode and installing randomized version. Any help would be appreciated

    Hi, didn't Prevx detect and/or remove a c:\windows\system32\drivers\h8srtxxxxxxxxxx.sys ? (x is random character)

    If not, try Tools > Manual File Cleanup and delete the c:\windows\system32\drivers\h8srtxxxxxxxxxx.sys


    I've used Prevx for similar infections and besides the h8srtxxxxxxxxxx.dll's there was always a c:\windows\system32\drivers\h8srtxxxxxxxxxx.sys detected and removed by Prevx. And Prevx removed the regkey wich loads the h8srtxxxxxxxxxx.sys

    As far as i know there are no disinfection files needed when you remove only the c:\windows\system32\drivers\h8srtxxxxxxxxxx.sys file.
    But maybe the file "seems" necessary due to the way it's loaded by the regkey ?

    Yes :) I would strongly recommend following these instructions to get in contact with our support engineers - they will gladly assist you in cleaning this and implement measures to prevent having to manually work on the infection in the future!

    Please let me know if you have any other questions or problems connecting with our support team.

    It sounds to me like the OP has done that and is not getting very timely assistance...

    True but he should continue with them, but he will have to wait till they are back to work Monday morning and ask for a remote session and let them clean it up that's what we pay for! ;)
